Clarion Hotel & Conference Center Reviews

Has great prices and a lot of options! They are very nice and very accommodating. Can’t wait to get married here!!

I found this hotel after having a bad experience at another venue. I left the other venue in tears thinking I could never pull off a nice wedding. Upon my arrival Kevin was super accommodating, very professional and friendly. He set all my concerns at ease and we liked him so much we instantly booked the venue. When the pandemic hit we had to postpone the wedding but that was a breeze all we had to do was pick a new date they transferred everything over with no problem. Even when we lost our church because of the pandemic they said no problem have the ceremony here, so we did. The waitstaff and bartenders were very professional. The food was amazing. The package we chose included the food, beer & wine, cake, and bridal suite. I would recommend this venue to anyone having a big event. They really do an outstanding job at a reasonable price! They truly made our wedding special!

We had our wedding at the Clarion of Toms River. Kevin made the whole planning process a breeze. Everything went as planned. The food was fantastic and the ballroom looked great.

Kevin the banquet manager was beyond amazing. He was always there to answer questions and make sure our planning process was not stressful.

The Clarion is amazing!!!! Their prices are affordable and they include almost everything you need. Everyone there is so nice and helpful. Alex, the maitre d was funny and professional and made sure everything went smoothly. Kevin the banquet manager was great and coordinating everything. I would recommend and I will absolutely have more events here!!!

Everyone at the Clarion was great! Kevin always responded to any of my questions promptly putting me at ease. Everything for the wedding was beautiful and perfect and exactly how I envisioned it!

We had our wedding reception here and it was the best ! I am stress free. Everything that was arranged prior the wedding was all set. We had a lot of compliments about the food too. The whole crew of Clarion Toms River is the best !!!!

We had an amazing wedding, Kevin and his team were great with everything!

listen there is already so many 5 star reviews that I will keep it short and sweet... Kevin was AMAZING! The food was amazing.. the price was the best we could find and everything was perfect!.. It was like every time we went to see him he gave us more and more.. He even surprised us on the final payment with what was about a $2000 4 tier wedding cake ... he blew us away..... it really was outstanding!.. I wish I would give them more stars than 5... My wife and I would recommend this place to everyone! Thank you Kevin.. and the rest of the team!

The clarion was amazing everything look perfect, the food was wonderful and it's very clean inside ! I would fully recommend everyone to have their wedding at the clarion hotel . Room service and everything was really great !!!!

5 stars isn't enough! The Clarion was excellent to work with! We had to reschedule our wedding due to a military deployment and Kevin, the banquet manager, was very accommodating! We were able to rearrange everything with no issues at all! The service was impeccable and food was fantastic. We did our ceremony and reception all at the hotel. The ceremony was set up beautifully and was an easy transition from one part to the next. The Maitre D, Alex, was also fantastic. He made sure that myself and my husband were taken care of the whole night. Our guests had a wonderful time, and we received nothing but compliments about the wedding day and the venue!

Kevin the event coordinator and Kathy Murphy and her team were beyond helpful. I used this venue for my wedding and was equally impressed for my daughter's sweet 16. The nerves I had were all contained and taken away by the well trained and experienced staff. They treated my daughter and family And friends like VIP(even with our budget)

Kevin, the banquet manager was awesome, he was quick to respond to an email or phone call. He was very flexible and accommodating. Bob, who is the general manager of the hotel, married us and did a great job! The food was delicious and everything was set up perfectly and just as asked. I'm very picky and it was hard to give up the control, and let them set things up. Of course I couldn't do it, I had 400 other things to do, but leave it with them and it'll be perfect. Love this place.

Can't say enough good things about Kevin and the Clarion. They hosted our 12-13-14 wedding. Food and staff were excellent. Maitre D was wonderful. Everything went fabulous! We couldn't be happier!

We had our wedding at the clarion on 11/23/14. The staff went above and beyond to make out wedding amazing. And it was. It exceeded every expectation I had.

Absolutely amazing! Food was excellent and the service was even better! My guests kept raving about the food at cocktail hour. Kevin was great to work with and helped us out the whole way.

We had a great experience! We would definitely recommend the Clarion for anyone planning a wedding reception.

All in all clarions people is what made the night. The hotel lacked in every aspect. But for the reception and food it was fantastic. Tracie was like a gift to me that day. She has best personality and made sure we had everything we needed all night! I would recommend them for reception however sleep elsewhere.

We held my daughter's wedding at the Clarion and have nothing but good things to say about it. Everything was beautiful!!! The venue was beautiful, the staff was helpful and accomodating, the food was delicioius, and it was everything we hoped it would be!!! Everyone loved it!

Kevin, the banquet manager at the Quality Inn was amazing!!! We booked the venue in February of 2010. We choose the premier package and we were blown away by the amount of food that was served at our wedding. People are still telling us they were full during cocktail hour and how much food was served at the wedding. The Quality Inn includes open bar for 5 hours and meals for all hired help (photography, videography, and dj's). This venue is beautiful and I truly loved working with them.

Absolutely amazing and our maitre d donna was the most awesome person ever

amazing! the place looked beautiful....it seemed as though the whole hotel revolved around me that day. Food is great!!

The room looked amazing and the maitre'd was so helpful. We had a 5 hour open bar , our cake and centerpieces were included in the price, plus a private cocktail hour and a room over night for myself and my husband. It was about $63 per person

Kevin was great to work with. Loved having our wedding here. Would recommend it to everyone.

Cake was prefect

Hi,
I got married Aug 12, 2016 in the ballroom at the Clarion in Toms River. We had a great wedding/reception but details no bride should ever have go wrong went wrong. I am writing this today because it still haunts me. I have to say that I grew to really like to staff throughout the planning which made not say anything. I also did not want to taint my wedding with negativity. Back story - I was married before and divorced 8 years prior, did not change my last name due to nursing school, nursing licensing easiness and then getting engaged 3 years and waiting to change my name again when married aug 12.
I walked up to the two doors of the ballroom that is about to announce and introduce my husband and I as husband and wife. The doors said "welcome to the Ayala and Vieira wedding" Vieira is my ex-husbands last name!!! a detail never proof read during the entire planning. Yes, my debit card had vieira on it. This was my legal name during the planning. A big assumption that was a big mistake on their part. I never saw the door or the menu cards until day of. Ok maybe it's just the door. maybe no one saw it. Nope! it was on every menu card. Ayala Vieira wedding. So disrespectful to my side of the family. I gasped when I read the menu card. My sister heard me and saw my reaction. One I wanted to bury and not talk about. I cannot help but think of this and it really bothers me to this day.
